Backstory: Ok, Grandmama is having a Thanksgiving Dinner and is asking everyone to bring something. However, there is a rule (hence the Rulebreaker) she is following to determine who can bring what. Some people also may not be invited and therefore cannot bring anything (because they shouldn't be at Grandmama's in the first place. Please ask in the format "Can [name] bring [item]" Some examples (with responses - note this is the reply if they were asked in this post. It may or may not be different in other posts: Can Bob bring beer? Yes, but he cannot bring a beer mug. Can Kaylee bring cake? Kaylee is not invited. However, Uncle Fred can bring cake. Can Balin bring a vase? No, but he can bring a red platter. Note: Any pronouns used will refer to the pronoun itself. For instance, if Balin asks "Can I bring a phone?" I will answer the question based on whether the rule would allow "I" to bring a phone, not on whether it would allow "Balin" to bring a phone. | ||

Is Kaylee really not invited? Is Elizabeth invited? Is Kaylee, Secretary of Penguin Defense invited? Is Kaylee Tonks-Lupin invited? Is KayleeTonksLupin invited? Is Kaylee's Tortiesibling invited? I will not answer questions about who or who is not invited. If you want to ask, simply ask something like "Can Kaylee bring a [random object]?" If Kaylee (or whoever) is not invited, I will say so, and if she is, you have new information. I will, however, answer the following question. Can Kaylee's Tortiesibling bring Kaylee? No, Kaylee's Tortiesibling cannot bring Kaylee. She can, however, bring me. Reminder: Me = me, not necessarily gregoryuconn. As always for this puzzle, pronouns refer to the pronoun itself. | ||

Sorry, Kaylee. Crossposted. Can Kaylee bring Gregory some Coke? If the object is read as "Gregory some Coke" the answer is as follows. If not, the question is in an invalid format.

Is Abcdefghijklmnopqrstu invited? No, but abcdefghijklmnopqrst is. Is Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz invited? No, but abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy is. If I forgot a letter in any of those, I didn't mean too.

So nobody with 1, 6, 11, 21, or 25 letters in their name is invited...there has to be a pattern there somewhere... | ||

1 plus 5 is 6...6 plus 5 is 11...11 plus 10 is 21...but it only takes 4 to get to 25 from there, so I'm stumped. | ||

So nobody with 1, 6, 11, 21, or 25 letters in their name is invited...there has to be a pattern there somewhere... No, that's it. As in 1 6 21 (1621, first Thanksgiving) or 11/25 (the day Thanksgiving was this year.) Anyone who is invited can bring any food/drink item, but now all you need to do is find the rule for invited guests with non food items. | ||
